Hi.

Maybe we can collect reasons which cause the MPC One to crash.
Yesterday I had 3 crashes on a 8 hours time making beats.
They were caused by 2 reasons:

- 2 crashes/freezes while starting a new project while the old project was still playing (when you are in main screen and start a new project if you press on the upper left corner somewhere, next to the purge function)
- One crash was caused while assigning q-links. I had the q-link button pressed, selected q-links for global project and pressed the learn function.

Do you think my unit is faulty? Only had headphones and a SD Card connected.
If we can collect other crash triggers here we can learn to avoid them, for example if we play live with the device.

Cheers

It happened again after around 10-15 more working hours on the mpc. Maschine was powered on about 4 hours and froze again while loading a project, but this time it was stopped before loading.

For now I do not have reloaded the firmware and not made a factory reset. I made music on the iPad before and it crashed every 3-4 hours, so even if the mpc does crash it doesn't bother me that much in the moment, just wanted to share.
cheers

Follow the advice, try again, going through as many functions as you can while leaving it on for a long period of time and see what happens.
